Developing Symfony applications in 2023
summary
Symfony ships concrete changes: a minimum PHP 8.2 for Symfony 7, attribute-driven autowiring and compile-time metadata, and new components like the asset mapper (promises to remove Node.js for many UIs) and the scheduler component (replaces crons by leveraging messenger and works if messenger runs). Hundreds of PRs land monthly with 360 contributors in six months and ~240 open reviews; dependency injection gains lazy proxies generated in-core and easier test-time service mocks.
